Agreement and Bond
Potential agents must enter into a written agreement for selling permits. Agents may be assigned up to 100 permits without a bond. Agents needing more than 100 permits at a time will be required to execute either a corporate surety bond or a case performance bond to OPRD. The amount of the bond is to be fixed by the department, but a surety bond shall not be less than $6,000 and a case performance bond not less than $1,000.

The purpose of the bond is to protect the State of Oregon and OPRD from any non-payment of permit revenues collected by the agent. The bond is not an insurance policy and does not cover loss from fire, theft, or negligence.
